I didn't like Yves Fornier and Jeb, both of those characters had red flags. The suspense builds and it's unclear where the story is going, theories are formed but are then proven wrong. The first few chapters start with a mystery and immediately set the atmosphere of the story.Ĭora's artwork had a huge impact on Freya's life and the artwork is one of the main focus points in the story. Flashbacks allow the reader to understand the characters and their behaviour. Told from three POV's, the reader is introduced to different layers of the story and gets to know each character. This is the first book I've read by the author and I liked the writing style and pace.
I did not expect this book to be this good. There are more than wolves prowling these woods, some of them aren't wild and furry, they appear charming and caring but aren't scared to go in for the kill. Angel is a volunteer at a wolf sanctuary. Cora is an artist, Freya explores her mother's art and tries to understand the meaning of them and what is says about her. Three women, traumatic events in their past and a connection that allows their paths to cross. The Eye of the Beholder is more than a thriller, there's an emotional depth to the story. TW: Animal death, blood, child abuse, death/death of a parent, domestic, emotional and sexual abuse, eating disorders, grief, medical content, misogyny, murder, pregnancy, self harm, suicidal thoughts
This was also super easy to read, it was hard to actually keep to the slotted dates of this readalong as I just wanted to keep reading! I wouldn’t say they were all completely relatable, but there were certainly moments when I really connected with parts of their stories. I loved how this ended up mixing with the art world, questioning where the line of a controversial subject ends before it crosses over into dangerous territory.Īll women were strong in their own ways, yet were all flawed.
The idea of this book was one that sounded really interesting to me, with three women on their own (slightly similar) journeys that cross paths, all dealing with forms male violence, sexual abuse and misogyny. First book of 2023 and it was a good one! *pr product sent to me by Canongate for their January readalong*
